Awakening the War God novel Chapter 273

Chapter 273 Gazing at Each Other

Gabriel hailed a taxi to take Priscilla home.

As she was carried into the taxi, she felt Gabriel's utmost tenderness.

When Gabriel lowered his head and came very close to her face, she once again felt her heart racing.

Nestling in her seat, she didn't dare to utter a sound.

The nervous feeling in her heart did not cease for a single moment.

Growing up, she had always been independent and never had a pretentious demeanor.

She had never shown weakness in front of others.

Her parents had passed away early, and she had taken care of her younger brother and sister like the head of the family.

However, today, in front of Gabriel, she played the role of a delicate woman for the first time in her life.

Finally, she experienced the subtle feeling of being cared for by someone and didn't want to lose it.

Gabriel remained silent, appearing completely different from his usual playful self.

In fact, he was also distressed and conflicted.

Once Priscilla got involved with him, it might be even more dangerous than offending Doyle and Kevin.

He was afraid that he couldn't bear the consequences.

Gabriel's deep and aloof appearance made Priscilla even more nervous.

Her heart was uneasy and filled with fear.

The taxi driver, glancing through the rearview mirror, thought that they were a couple at odds against each other.

With good intentions, he suggested, "Man, your girlfriend's foot is injured and swollen. Don't stay in a cold war. Why don't you take her to the hospital?"

Only then did Gabriel come to his senses. Girlfriend?

He chuckled and said, "Sir, you have sharp eyes!"

Priscilla blushed, but she did not retort. Instead, she felt a sense of joy in her heart.

Gabriel felt a bit helpless. It was all because he was too handsome, and Priscilla was beautiful. Sitting together, they indeed seemed quite compatible.

He turned to look at Priscilla's feet, which were severely swollen.

But there was no trace of pity in his eyes. He only smiled and said, "People only go to the hospital for serious illnesses now. Who dares to go for minor ailments?

"For some minor illnesses, you have to pay a few dollars just to register, and by the time you've waited in line, the illness is already gone. Even if the illness hasn't gone away, the doctor just gives you a bunch of test requirements without even looking at you, making you go through all the hospital machines. Even for a common cold or fever, they can charge you hundreds or thousands of dollars.

"If I were to date such a beautiful girl, I'd have squandered all my savings. I can't afford to go to the hospital.

"If it's just a sprained ankle, she'll probably have to take a bunch of X-rays. It's not worth it at all. I can cure you with just a bottle of ointment.

"Anyway, I've already won her over, I'm not afraid of her getting mad and running away.

"You..." Priscilla exclaimed in anger, "I'm not his girlfriend."

Although she said so, she felt warm inside.

"How interesting!" The taxi driver was amused and burst into laughter, "You two are really interesting, and you are funny, bro. Although what you said is interesting, it's also the bitter truth for ordinary people."

Amidst the driver's sighs, they arrived at their destination.

Since Priscilla couldn't walk, Gabriel had to carry her back home.

As soon as they opened the door, they found two people inside.

Then the room fell into an awkward silence.

In the room were Freda and Kyle.

The four of them looked at each other, eyes wide with surprise.

In Kyle's mind, Priscilla was a strong woman, yet she was carried by a man. It was unbelievable.

Apart from being incredulous about her sister being carried, Freda was even more surprised to see Gabriel.

Wasn't this the same man who had given her extra dollars when buying iced lemonade today?

She couldn't believe that he knew her sister and carried her sister in his arms.

She wondered if her sister had got a boyfriend.

Priscilla bit her lip, feeling somewhat shy.
